| Summary: | Offered in the oral traditions of the Nez Perce, Native American writer W. S. Penn records the conversations he held with his granddaughter, lovingly referred to as "Bean," as he guided her toward adulthood while confronting society's interest in possessions, fairness and status. Drawing on his own family history and Native mythology, Penn charts a way through life where each endeavor is a journey, an opportunity to love, to learn or to interact, rather than the means to a prize at the end. |
